Morgan Key joined the Middle Tennessee athletic department in 2026 as the Assistant Director of Creative Design & Photography – Athletics, where she leads graphic design and visual storytelling efforts across Blue Raider Athletics.
Key arrived at MTSU after serving as the Brand & Digital Media Coordinator for the Nashville Sports Council and Music City Bowl. In that role, she led marketing, public relations, brand identity, and creative/digital media efforts across multiple sports properties, including the integration of Liberty Mutual Insurance into the Music City Bowl brand and the development and production of the Sprouts Farmers Market Broadway Block Party. Her work spanned digital, social, print, in-venue and experiential platforms, while also overseeing photography, content strategy and brand development.
A native of Greenville, South Carolina, Key discovered her love for design in eighth-grade yearbook class, beginning nearly a decade of experience in yearbook and publication design. That journey culminated in her final year of undergrad with her serving as Editor-in-Chief of the award-winning Glomerata, Auburn University’s official yearbook. She earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts in Graphic Design from Auburn, where she further developed her passion for sports design through her senior thesis project, the fictional University of Pawley’s Island Ghost Crabs football team.
Key is excited to join MTSU Athletics and looks forward to contributing to the continued growth of the Blue Raider brand. She remains based in Nashville and is a proud dog mom to her Catahoula Leopard Dog, Lou Lou.
